Z will release a new studio album this forthcoming summer, more info to follow soon. In the mean time here’s a clip of an expanded line-up performing at the Do It festival in Yamagata, Japan from last September:

LITE have added a date at Nottingham Bar None on September 19th. Tickets are available online for the Colchester and Brighton gigs. Check the schedule page for more details. Also check out the video for Contemporary Disease.

The Arm have also announced two upcoming shows in Birmingham and Leeds.

Psychedelic Irish folksters The Spook Of The Thirteenth Lock have joined the Transduction fold, watch out for more details of their forthcoming debut album soon.

Z debuted new material for the next album at a show with LITE last week in Tokyo.

Lots more press reviews added for “Filmlets” and “Mikabe”. The Z track “Mugen” is streaming at Paper Thin Walls. The band will play their first gig of 2007 after a long break in Tokyo on May 6th. Also check out a great Z article at New Noise. The Arm will play The King Edward Inn in Birmingham (formerly Chapter Eleven) on March 31st with Mills & Boon and have been added to the bill for the Wheaton Aston Music Festival on May 19th.

“…one of the most technical yet enjoyable instrumental math-rock albums in recent memory…Filmlets is a truly remarkable album”

New videos for “Human Gift” and “Gohyaku Manyen” are also now online. The Arm will be playing at British Wildlife’s Big Fat Weekend festival in Leeds next month. Other dates include shows with Trans Am and USA Is A Monster, more details on the schedule page.

LITE’s “Filmlets” and Z’s “Mikabe” albums will be available to order online directly from us on January 15th and should hit the shops during February via Cargo. LITE’s version of the Radiohead song “Everything In Its Right Place” was released on a tribute CD in Japan in November – hopefully this will see a release in Europe later this year. “I Miss Seeing All” was a featured track on Nokia’s Music Recommenders site during December – warning: site is Windows only!
